I see that you are learning a lot of skills. My advice would be to specialise in one area first before you do something else otherwise your focus will be split in multiple directions. And this will slow down your overall learning and progression. It's best practice to get really good at vanilla javascript first before you start working with javascript frameworks.

That's one mistake I made at the beginning I only partially learned some vanilla javascript then I went straight into React and then I got stuck with a few issues. And I realised that the reason why I could not find the solution in the react documentation is because they related to vanilla javascript and I had not learned those concepts yet.

Thank you!
I started with Vue with knowing little JS,
But, when I started with React (to help get better at JS), React helped me understand JavaScript better.
Now with Vue, it makes more sense on how to use the structure.
But, with vue there vue.component, well, I get confused with JS when I use el: or use document.getElementById,
That’s where I mess up

I’m liking python, it reminds me of JS

I have quite a few courses on Python but I am yet to do anything with it because I have been spending so much time getting better with the MERN stack πŸ˜
